Spinal problems in children happen when the spine is abnormally curved, pressuring the vertebrae (small bones of the spine) and causing back pain and other problems.
At the Andrews Institute, our program is designed to provide a superior level of expertise, advanced technology and innovative care in one convenient location. We provide diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care such as physical therapy (PT) under one roof.

At the Andrews Institute, our specialists have extensive experience diagnosing the full range of spinal problems in children. We work together to ensure your child receives an accurate and quick diagnosis.
Diagnostic tests may include:
Treatment for spinal problems in children depends on the severity of the abnormal curve. Most often, our physicians can use nonsurgical treatments for spinal deformities.
Our goal is always the least invasive, most effective option. If symptoms worsen, though, your child may need surgery. If so, our surgeons use the latest tools and technology to realign and straighten your child’s spine.
When the spine is shaped abnormally, your child may experience back pain from the pressure on the vertebrae. Also, children with scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis may develop body image issues.
